In the spirit of competition, I had to count them up. Twelve. Not great, although I would like to point out that you can see my hometown Jersey City from the Statue of Liberty. In fact, quiet as it's kept, the Statue of Liberty is actually in Jersey City. I think that should count for extra points.

I've done 13. I've been through Florence but did not stay there, so I'm not counting it. The Kennedy Space Center beautiful? I dunno about that. My wife's from Melbourne and I've been down there a number of times. Her brother, who works at the Cape, gave us a private tour. It was very interesting, but beautiful is not a word I'd use. We did see a launch once, and that has to rank in my top five spectacular experiences of all time.

Used to live in (yes, in) #82. That infers at least 45. Also, I had some clothes with the Mont St. Michel label - that's gotta count for another 10 or so. I think I could spend the rest of my life a lot further down south.

What, you lived in a giant sequoia? Incredible.

BWAP: your Arizona confession is horrendous! I grew up near Mont St Michel, but have never been, only past - then again, it was in France and I wasn't. I coulda gone to Teotihuacan or whatever it is last Oct - some people said 'you must go!', but then we only had one free day, so it would have meant missing Mex City, so... there'll be a next time.

Eight Hour drive from where I lived and I didn't have a car. I have been to Teotihuacan and the Avenue of the Dead and it was spectacular - highlight of my week in Mexico City (at least right up there with the venerable Cafe Tacuba - which would make the top ten meals of a lifetime list).

Everyone just needs to fuckin’ relax. Smoke more weed, the world is ending.

Actually, I'll color you gullible. Didn't actually live IN a tree, but did live within that national park. Fortunate for me that someone did actually live IN a sequoia, and that tree is also inside said park. (and that I could recall that fact after all these years!)

Sadly, only 5 to date. One could easily add to that list 100s of more places and then I would feel sadder as time is pushing hard at my heels. Well at least I have seen the things in my backyard- would love to consider my beautiful Hudson Valley worthy of this list if only it were expanded. Do Stonehenge and Bath count?
